1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.7 G4 h8 j B5 L- ^& l7 g
* n3 ~& `7 |+ M n' Y: @9 ?) S: x
All other islands are mountainous so Tinian has a x 4 AV multiple for forts, Saipan, Guam or Pagan would have x 12 because forts and mountains are mutiplactive. i.e. attacking the Marianas for the allies is a no choice option.3 K- t/ z0 H( K* k% M" Y; w

Because it is not possible in WITP to interdict land reinforcements if the Japanese player is willing to take the losses he can put 2 or 3 Divs ashore in short order either by transport aircraft or massed AK invasion - Pauk did that to me at Gasmata so he knows the moves and PZB has completed it many times another 1,000 AV x 4 = no matter what the allies bring its not possible.

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC
6 {2 r! K* v/ N8 L& i9 L
* X# L/ `) w5 L( Z# TSWPAC is a valid attack route BUT with every base having lvl 9 forts and the Japanese able to reinforce and it being malaria it is a VERY tough attack route. Remember Noemfoor against PZB a single Bde can stop 2 - 3 Divs of allied Troops for a long time. Forts are just to strong in jungle and Malaria.# \+ W0 E3 g" [1 J7 n9 O3 W' O
